I want to receive feedback by: Comments on the published fics are the best, but if you prefer to be more private, the mods have my email, and my discord handle is egelantier#0472.

Here are the works I want feedback on: anything on

egelantier is good to go!

There are several recent fics that are out of my usual wheelhouse and so I'd be very interested in feedback on them, but honestly anything goes, regardless of posting year:

give us a little love (TGE, Maia/Csethiro arranged marriage canon divergence AU)
create in me a clean heart (VME, fairly graphic hurt/comfort fic with crucifixion)
the rivers of the sky are dry (Narnia, ensemble)
lead me down to the dusty garden (FFXV, fairly graphic whump)

I have these questions for readers:
- If somebody's read my earlier fics, I would really love to know if there's a visible change/progress in my writing over the years.
- The other question I'm burningly curious about is whether the stories in different fandoms feel samey because my writing 'voice' - the cadence, the word choices, et cetera - overwhelms setting/characterization differences.
- Is there a stylistic quirk / repeated pattern that feels really visible to you, in an inorganic way?

The style of feedback I prefer to receive is: Pretty much everything goes, including SPAG and stylistic, sentence-by-sentence feedback. I'm ESL, and I would be grateful for any comments here (I'm endlessly beholden to my betas for saving the readers from the worst of my comma and semicolon sins before they see the light of the day, but...).
It's fine to be blunt as long as there's an elaboration on what didn't/did work for you.

okay i just want to open with, like, this whole comment made me So Happy. i feel like i made it! themes and philosophies, damn yessssss. just - thank you so much, it was such a great gift and analysis, all at once, i've been sneakily rereading it and smiling over it all this time.

it's interesting because i thought, consciously, of some of those things - i love the water imagery, for example; i love my last stands; i love the agnostical sense of there-is-something-after - and didn't of some other (letting go of self, right to die, right to live, all of this). i'm glad that there's a fandom that's of interest to you as a whole, too - i'm very tangentially connected to sw fandom, with very specific and narrow focus in it, and i'm tickled that you tracked this, like - entire philosophical swing in it. (and that milosz's quote, ahhhh).

in short - the death of author, sorta! because author did not put any intentional heideggery and scullduggery in, but is pleased to discover them there anyway ♥
